IAIA ONCE AGAIN SPONSORS BANDSTAND PERFORMANCE
OF SANTA FE FAVORITE
ROBERT MIRABAL
AUGUST 9th SHOW IS CLOSING NIGHT OF 2019 BANDSTAND
|
SANTA FE, N.M. - April 4, 2018. The Institute of American Indian Arts (IAIA) is sponsoring a very special night of free music at the Santa Fe Bandstand on Friday, August 9, 2019 at 6:00 pm, featuring popular Taos Pueblo musician Robert Mirabal. Opening the show will be drum circles presented by drum groups from local pueblos.
Two-time GRAMMY Award winner, Robert Mirabal, lives at the foot of the sacred Taos Mountain in northern New Mexico. Maintaining a traditional life, keeping the centuries-old customs of the Taos Pueblo people, Robert has been described as a Native American "Renaissance man" - musician, composer, painter, master craftsman, poet, actor, screenwriter, horseman, and farmer. He travels extensively playing his music all over the world.
His performance during IAIA Night at the 2018 Bandstand was a show not to be forgotten.
Santa Fe Bandstand is a free summer music festival on the Santa Fe Plaza. Brought to you by Outside In Productions, a nonprofit, community-based group established in the spring of 1995, to bring free, live performances, presentations, and workshops to people confined to shelters, residential treatment facilities, nursing homes, correctional facilities, and any other institutions or human services programs where people would otherwise not have access to the arts.
